Jaguar Land Rover's latest award-winning products made their Indian debut at the 12th Auto Expo Motor Show. Amongst the star attractions, the Jaguar F-Type coupe was unveiled by India's racing driver, Narain Karthikeyan and the Range Rover long wheelbase by bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra.

The celebrities appeared alongside Jaguar Land Rover's new Indian product range, including the latest Land Rover Discovery and the Range Rover Evoque with 9-speed transmission. Also making their much anticipated Indian debut were the Jaguar C-X17 crossover concept and the D-Type inspired Project 7 concept car.

"We are here in India to showcase the very latest offerings from our two great British brands. India continues to be an important and dynamic market for Jaguar Land Rover with year on year sales growth. This demonstrates that we are delivering our promise to create exciting products and unrivaled customer experiences. We aim to enhance the potential of the Indian market by growing our dealer network by 25 per cent this year and will now manufacture our flagship model, the Jaguar XJ, in Pune," said Dr. Ralf Speth, Jaguar Land Rover CEO.

JLR confirmed that Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, would become the third model to be made at the firm's local manufacturing facility in Pune, following the introduction of the Land Rover Freelander 2 in 2011 and Jaguar XF in 2013.
